Episode 118 - The Conviction of Michael Politte
In the early morning hours of December 5th, 1998, 14-year-old Michael Politte, and his friend, 15-year-old Josh awoke to the smell of smoke. When they opened the door to Michael’s bedroom, they choked on the smoke billowing from 40-year-old Rita Politte’s room. While Josh ran to the neighbors house to get help, Michael ran outside to grab a hose. He tried to pull the hose inside, but it wasn’t long enough so he crawled to his mom’s room to check on her. When he opened the door, he found Rita laying face up on the ground with her body on fire from her waist to her head.
Rita’s murder was the first in a long line of injustices, but to fully understand those injustices we need to take a look at the whole picture.
PS - Sorry for the delayed release! We've both had two very busy weeks!

In this episode we discuss the life and death of Tina Fontaine, a young indigenous girl whose life was marked by trauma, and systemic failures. Tina’s story is reflective of the shortcomings of the child welfare system and the pervasive issues facing indigenous women and girls in Canada. We honor her memory by calling attention to the urgent need for change and justice.
